On January 18, 2020, Indonesia passed a bill to move its capital from Jakarta to East Kalimantan, situated in the east of Borneo island about 2,000 kilometers away. The new capital city of the country will be called Nusantara which translates to “archipelago”. Jakarta has been Indonesia’s capital since the country became independent in 1949. The reason behind Indonesia’s decision is simple. Jakarta is sinking. The northern part of Jakarta that meets the Java sea has been sinking 25 centimeters a year and it is affecting the 10 million people living in the city.
